i dont see wat the big deal is?? most games in Canada are over $80. Now u no why i always wait for a price drop for 10 hour games. But since this is an RPG it more than justifies a full price purchase. Still day one buy regardless

Outlawwauron on the box of the game is where I got the price. A lot of times the prices of games in Japan are posted on the box not always though but for Final Fantasy VI on Super Famicom it was on the back of the box lower left side 11,400 taxes included.

Better question where you get 6900 yen at?

The game came out in the USA and it cost $75.

Make sure you click on the Japanese one on the back of the box you'll see the price.

Oh wow. I saw it from a very old news article and they mentioned the price.


Thanks a lot for the source!

Also like to point out gotta love that Squaresoft back then put the prices on their Super Famicom boxes.

Romancing Saga 9,800 yen

Romancing Saga 2 9,900 yen

Romancing Saga 3 11,400 yen

Thats insane and crazy, ofc fans of FF in jp will buy it, but dont count it as so many as it could be. Shame.

In Great brittian its 50$ and here in nordic its 60. At most.

Doing some searching here we go and Final Fantasy VI actually cost more I thought it already had the tax included on the box 11.400 yen yes but after taxes 11,970 yen.

$ was stronger back then but if Final Fantasy VI came out today it would be $131 for Final Fantasy VI. Back in 1994 it was closer to around say $105.

Final Fantasy 13 is actually more than $90 now at the current rate its $101.69

My earlier posts for Final Fantasy series was just the retail price and didn't have the taxes included yet.

Like Final Fantasy 13 is 8,800 yen but with tax is 9,280 yen

Jeez, I bitch and moan about $59 games. There is no way I would purchase a game for $90 unless it was an extreme collectors edition or something like that. And then I probably still wouldn't do it.

No wonder why so many people hack their systems in Asia. I probably would too if I lived there.
